has been claiming that Canada
§ not wholeheartedly behind the Bri-
tish in this war. It has given the sub-
merged nations of Europe further
concrete evidence that the empire is
a unit in the prosecution of the war.
It should have all the greater effect
on public opinion in enslaved nations
coming as it does immediately after
the Atlantic conference which j|le?-
ged the restoration of their freedom.

Empire Council Table—

All Canadians as well as_ British
are in spirit gathered round the coun-
cil table at 10 Downing Street, as Mr
King meets the war cabinet and d's
cusses “matters of mutual interest.”
It doesn’t seem as if any permanent
imperial war council will be set up 2s
in the last war. Mr King believes
‘that important decisions should not
be made by one man but by a govern-
ment as a whole, and that present ar-
rangements for communications be-
tween governments are __ infinitely
more effective than by any other
means”. Mr Churchill has said that an
imperial conference draws nearer,
but he doesn’t favour 2 permanent or-
ganization for the war. Premier Fra-
ser of New Zealand is now in Britain,
but with the danger of an outbreak
imminent in the South Pacific, Prem-
jer Manzies of Australia is undecidel
whether to come to London or stay
at his post at Canberra. General Smuts
whose sage counsel would also be of
the greatest value in imperial confer-
ences is in South Africa and hasn’t
been able to leave the continent
where his troops are engaged as far
north as Libya, Calling an imperial
conference at an early date may be
difficult. Already however three Do-
minion Prime Ministers have joined in
war cabinet discussions in London
while all are making vital contribu-
tions to the common cause through
the direction of their nations’ war act-
iwities, D
Canada to Build Destroyers—

Canadians shipyards that have been
building corvettes and mine sweep-
ers as well as working on large orders
for the construction of cargo vessels
will also soon be turning out destroy-
ers. Navy minister Angus Macdonald,
according to cable despatches, has
succeeded in getting the British auth-
oritles to release a number of expert
technicians who will come to this
country to help Canadian yards in the
construction of these warships. Can-
ada has never built destroyers before.
With its personnel over 20,000 com-
pared with 1,300 at the beginning of
the war, with its vessels numbering
200 and to be doubled by next year,
and with patrols on duty in the Pac-
ifi and East and West Atlantic, the
Canadian navy is becoming a force to
be reckoned with in the tally of the
fighting resources of the democracies.

TIN LIZZIE SWEEPS’

Calgary Lions Club
Raise Funds For
War Services

Interest mounts in the one hundred
mile “Tin Lizzie Swepstakes” to be
run off on Calgary’s Victoria Park
race track, this Labor Day, September
1, under the auspices of the Lion's
Club in aid of their war services fund.

Ancient “flivvers” that have felt the
heat of many a blistering sun and re-
fused to budge an inch on many a
frosty morn are feeling the splash of
oil and gas in rusty interionrs Fev-
erish activity is witnesed around gar
ages, service stations and back yard
lots as contestants groom their en-
tries,

Aimed at raising funds for war ser-
vices, the race itself is expected to
provide exciting entertainment for
spectators with side-splitting comical
situations as well as moments of gen-
uine suspense as the rambling wrecks
give their all in one final effort to
win the 1st prize money of $250.00.
Winner of second prize will get $150.00
with third prize of $75.00 and fourth
money amounting to $25.00.

Plans are also under way to provide
additional awards for the entry from
the greatest number of miles away
from Calgary, and for the most ort-
ginal paint job, as well as the oldest
model entered.

Miss Vera Sarsons, whose marriage
to Mr Barney Hughes is an event of
the month, was guest of honor at a
miscellaneous shower at the home of
Mr and Mrs C}. O. Dawson on ‘Thurs-
day afternoon, August 21st. Twenty-
five friends were present.

The house was decorated with pirk
and white streamers nd white wedding
bells, red, white and blue sweetpeas,
grown by Mrs Horrocks, and patriotic
f'ag servietes were used at the pret-
tily appointed tea tables. Games were
played, the prize for the highest score
in Motor Romance going t» Miss
Elaine Sarsons, low score to Mrs Eric
Olson, The prize for the highest score
in the Flower Wedd'ng went to Mrs
Alex Watson and lirs Leonard Hilton.
Low score to Mrs Godfrey and Mrs
Olson,

To the strains of Lohengrin’s Wed-
ding March, little Maureen Hilton as
bride and Gordon Hilton as groom
carried in a basket and box prettily
decorated in Pink and White filled
with choice gifts. Bowing to the hon-
ored guest they expressed the good
wishes of those present, the groom
giving some sound advice of his own,
‘if you want to keep your husband
happy cook for him.” Vera graciously
thanked all for the pretty gifts. “For
She’s a Jolly Good Fellow” was heart-
ily sang by all.

The little bride looked exceedingly
winsome in her white silk dress and
weil, carrying a lovely bouquet of
Roses and Baby Breath. The groom
looked quite at ease in his swallow-
tail coat and white bow-tie carrying
his tall hat which was autographed
later by all the guests and given to
the guest of honor as a souvenir. Later
the guest of honor, the little bride and
groom and friends were photographed
in the garden. Friends of the honored
guest were servitors for the delicious
eats, After tea a short musical pro-
gram was enjoyed by all, every item
being well applauded. Solos by Mrs
Walter Mercer, piano solo by Miss
Rosemary Hilton, piano duet by Mra
Walter Mercer and Miss Marjorie
Dawson. Community singing “There'll
Always Be An England”, “Carry On”,
and-“Ged -Bless. Canada” brought the
happy afternoon to a close,

can countries. The object of the visit
is to cultivate trade relations with
these neighboring countries of the
Western hemisphere for the future
as well as the present. Brazil and
Argentina have ministers at Rio de
Janeiro, and will in due course have a
minister at Buenos Aires. Canada
is righty laying down channels of
trade for post war years when 80
many routes of commerce will for
years at least be disorganized Ata
time too when the Nazi pressure is
so strong in Latin America it will do
no harm for Canada, as one of the be-
lligerent democracies to show through
its mission the goodwill which this
country holds towards its neighbours
in South Ameirca, The mission will
also not lose any of its desired effect
by following so closely on the decision
of the United States to start an aerial
ferry service through West Africa
to the Middle East. In addition to
supplying Britain with planes in the
East Mediterranean area, this ferry
senvice is a step towards preventing
the West African ports coming under
Nasi control which would menace
South America.

The fall months are certan to see
a gradual strengthening of the the
regulations on the use of durable con-
sumer goods in this country. The
Wartime Prices and Trade Board with
increased power and working in close
collaboration with the Wartime In-
dustries Control Board will intensify
the cacmpaign not only of keeping
prices within bounds but of turning
the faucets of the country’s resources
into war rather than civilian channels.
It is a tremendous job switching a
nation’s peace time ecnomy into a
wr economy. It is a laborious pro-
cess which in Canada is only partially
completed but more will shortly be
heard ofthe combined efforts of the
Minister of Finance and Munitions
and Supply in this direction.

POSSIBLY TAKE OVER

A meeting of locker holders in the
Strathmore Cold Storage Locker
plant, held in the Memorial Pal! on
Monday evening, was an affair that
attracted a large number of Locker
Holders, as well as a few other inter-
ested citizens. Attendance mounted
to over 140, and there was not even
standing room after the meeting got
fairly under way. Called by a few in-
terested tenants, the meeting was cal-
led to order by T. S. Tughes, who ask-
ed that the gathering appoint a chair-
man, Unanimously, they appointed Mr
Hughes, Miss Gerry Van Tighem was
elected secretary, and the chairman
then suggested that it would be wise
to give Mr Dowsley, who was present
at the meeting, an opportunity to
state the position of the company.

Mr Dowsley, in opening, stated that
he knew the situation at the locker
plant was abominable, and that he ac-
cepted full responsibility. He then
went on to suggest to the meeting
that there were possibly only two
courses of action which might be fol.
lowed, firstly, that the plant carry on
under present management, and in
order to reimburse the farmers who
have lost meat in the plant, that they
be given a credit for the amount lost,
which credit would be charged up as
fifty per cent payment on their pro-
cessing bills until the accounts were
cleared, Otherwise, he suggested, the
only course was to turn the plant over
to the locker holders and for him to
get out clear, which course, he stated,
he was quite ready to follow. He de
clared later in the evening, after much
discussion, that he had come out with
the firm intention of assigning bank-
ruptcy on Wednesday; this decision
he changed at the meeting, when the
holders requested that he carry on for
two weeks until they were in a posti-
tion to know exactly what course of
action they were ready to pursue.

The locker holders had a number of
questions to fire at Mr Dowsley, and
there was no ‘cease fire’ for quite
some time, until a large majority of
questions had been answered. Quest-
foned concerning the present financial
status of the plant, Mr Dowsley intim-
ated that his figures were not exact
but gave statements of the liens and
mortgages held on the plant, amount-
ing to something over six thousand
dollars, Thiz figure, he declared, was
quite apart from the amount owed on
the building itself, which was owned
by Johnson Investments of Calgary.
Mr Johnson figured his equity, he
thought, at something around five
thousand dollars. There were taxes
also owing amounting to over fifteen
hundred dollars.

The Chairman told the meeting at
this juncture that the building had
been put up for tax sale in July, and
that there had been no bidders. In
this case, the building came to the
Town one year from the above date,
and they had the power to rent it dur-
ing that year, provided the taxes were
unredeemed. Mr Dowsley stated that
Mr Johnson had intimated to him
that sooner than have someone rent
the building, he would pay the taxes
and leave the building idle.

Representing the Provincial Govern-
ment, Mr Butterfield, Provincial Meat
Inspector, was called to give his re-
port on the contents of the plant.. He
had, sald Mr Butterfield, found mold
on the meat; some green mold, and
some black, the latter being by far the
worst. Some of it may be cleaned up,
he stated, but the black molded meat
is nearly all useless, Tastes differ, of
course, he said, and what some peo-
ple would throw out, was quite appeal-
ing to others, but there was undoubt-
edly a large quantity of spoiled meat.
Insofar as the technical aspect of the
situation was concerned, Mr _ Butter-
field stated that he was disinterested
—his only concern was to’ get the
spoiled meat out of there. Suggestion
was made that he might also concern
himself with the cause in order to pre-
vent a recurrence, here or elsewhere.
Questioned as to whether he could
condemn the meat in the plant, Mr
Butterfield stated that he had _ the
power, but unless authorized by the de
partment at Edmonton, could not do
so. He clarified this statement by Ad-
ding that it was a large job, would
take all of a week, and that he did not
have the authority to take that long.
He did suggest however, that the com-
mittee arrange for the Medical Health
Officer to check over each parcel, and
condemn what was in order to do so.
As far as preventing further recur-
; e, he stated that it is very hard to
esr out the mold fungus, and that

he would advise them to refuse any
further meat until the present quant-
ity is all removed, then clean out ev-
erything thoroughly with lysol, and
resume operations. Answering a ques-
tion concerning the equipment, Mr
Butterfield stated that the equipment
was such that under proper operation,
meat should keep almost indefinitely.

Investigation into the disposal of a
large amount of lard, owned by some
half dozen of the holders present,
with questions recurring at frequent
intervals, brought forth many laughs
from the main body. The lard question
fast assumed momentous proportions
as they got on the track.

One of the first concrete suggest-
ions of the-svening was that the meet-
ing elect a board of directors to act in
the interests of all in the disposing
of the bad meat, and to carry on with
further work as needed. This motion
met with enthusiastic support, and
after a good deal of further debate, a
second motion was brought forth that
a committee be formed to look into
the possibilities of taking over the
present plant, or of buildng a new one.

The Chairman intervened with a re-
port from refrigeration engineer
who had checked the plant, to the ef-
fect that the plant would require one
thousand dollars of expenditure to
put it in first class shape to carry the
load. The present equipment, he de-
clared, was oldfashioned.

Mr Dowsley, when asked a little
further in x evening, stated that the
equipment was fully modern, and that

HARVEST HELD UP
BY RAIN

The rain which fell steadily all day
Sunday, while benefitting pasture
lands has delayed harvesting very
seriously. This followed by cloudy
weather and more rain Wednesday
brings further set back. This rain
six weeks ago would have been wel-
come,

Grain is however coming into the
local elevators in quite large quant-
ities, It is grading well and _reason-
ably free of weeds, As yet there is
plenty of storage room.

As school is not likely to open on
Sept. 1st on account of the provincial
order with regard to the outbreak of
polio, teachers and pupils are asked
to watch for public announcements in
the press or over the radio and _ be
governed accordingly with regard to
the opening date.

Teachers Institutes which were to
be held during the second week, of
Sept. in each sub-division will, In case
school opening is delayed, be post-
poned and will be held during the
second week after the opening on the
same days of the week and at the
same places. These meetings are for
the Wheatland Teaching Staff only
and are being held at Kathyrn, Swal-

more,

It was decided to purchase a num-
ber of new typewriters again this year

‘LOCKER HOLDERS MEET

it was fifty percent stronger than the
plant at High River, which is held up
as a model, Asked if he had any inter-
est in the High River plant. Mr Dows-
ley said no,

Someone suggested that they ought
to check the legal aspects of taking
over the plant, whether they would
be bound by present liens and other
arrangements.

Since the locker p'ant here also
consists of four rural branches, each
with its own chill room, situated at
Gleichen, Cluny, Arrowwood, Hussar,
Mr Dowsley was asked whether these
branches would also come under any
proceedings filed. All but Arrowwood
were part and parcel of this plant, he
stated, but this latter was a separate
unit and would not. When Arrowwood
holders: wanted to know what would
become of their equity, he stated that
another plant was going up there.

Nominations for a committee were
received, wih the committee members
being— Chairman, T. S. Hughes, J.
Harwood, H. Ruppe, H. Groves, Sr.
and C. Sewall. Specific instructions
given the committee on taking over
giving them full authority to look af-
ter the locker holders interests as far
as possible, and also to look into the
feasibility of taking over, Further
instructions were to refer the whole
matter to the Attorney-General’s De-
partment for investigation. A further
motion was to the effect that Mr
John Christensen the present manager
of the plant, be given authority to
check over all parcels of meat in the
plant individually, and that the as-
sembly as a whole guarantee his
wages. Mr Dowsley had stated pre-
viously that he would maintain the
plant for two weeks until the commit-
tee would get things in order for the
assembly, and that he would assume
the wages for that period. The motion
was made simply as a safeguard.

Assuming that the committee could
not work without incurring some ex-
pense, a motion was made that they be
granted reasonable expenses in fol-
lowing their course of action.

One question asked of Mr Dowsley
was concerning the number of locker
holders in the plant. He was not able
to say with certainty, and referred
them to Mr Christensen. Within half
a dozen, the present manager thought
there were 238. These included a num-
ber at Hussar, who were guaranteed a
locker as well as their local chill
room in their contract. Further ques-
tioning brought out the fact that
there were something like 140 lockers
in the plant.

Meeting after adjournment of the
large body, the committee felt that
there would be a large amount of
sorting and gathering of facts to be
done, and felt they should retain Miss
Van Tighem as Secretary. In order
not to confuse this body with the
Locker Plant Company, they thought
it would be wise to call themselves
the Investigating Committee, Strath-
more Locker Plant.

Pursuing the aim of finding the re-
lative merits of taking over, or of
building, the committee made arrange-
ments to meet with all creditors pos-
sible in Calgary on Thursday.

A further general meeting was ca’-
led for on Wednesday, September 3,
in the Memorial Hall.

DUKE OF KENT
WINS HEARTS OF
CBC NEWSMEN

Many of the broadcast news reports
of the Duke’s tour were from first-
hand information gathered by CBC
newsmen who accompanied the Duke
on his various inspection trips. During
his Winnipeg press conference, the
Duke remarked that he often listen-
ed to the radio news during his tra-
vels, in spite of the heavy official de-
mands on his time.

Just as the Duke was leaving his
Winnipeg press conference, the news-
men, almost in one voice, asked him
to convey their respects to H. R. H.
the Duchess of Kent, whose pictures,
received through news services, they
greatly admired. The Duke replied
that it was unfortunate that the Duch-
ess did not take a very good picture.
No! no! chorused the newsmen—she's
marvellous! Nevertheless, responded
H.R.H. firmly, but wth the vestige of
a smile, I assure you her photographs
do not half do her justice. The con-
ference broke up amid applause and
cheers, and with the genera] admis-
sion among the newsmen that this
was about as nice and as chivalrous
a compliment as had been heard in
Winnipeg in many a day.

THE PEOPLE WANT MOTOR
REVENUE USED FOR ROADS

Alberta motorists provided the pro-
vincial government with $3,500,000 of
its revenue of $8,237,000 during the
first three months of the fiscal year
that opened on April 1, acording to
the interim financial statement for the
period, issued recently by the pro-
wincial treasurer.

The financial statement shows that
fofr the three-month period, motor
licenses produced $2,548,975, or an in-
crease of $316,923 over the corres-
ponding period of the previous year.

The fuel oil tax act yielded $1,026,-
999, or a gain of $333,288 over a year
ago,

The province continues to draw
huge revenue from motorists, Now it
should in return spend that money on
the roads, That is the feeling of thous-
ands of motorists. Few, if any of
them would grumble if it were felt
that the motor revenues, despite the
load they place on the taxpayer, were
being spent on the roads, where it
was intended originally that they

should be spent.

The cry for a change in government
policy is gaining support. Before long,
this demand will force government
recognition, in the opinion of A.M.A.
officials,

The pepople want motor revenue us-
ed for road.

OBITUARIES

DEATH OF A. SCOTT DAWSON
EARLY STRATHMORE RESIDENT

The death pam in Guelph, Ont-
ario, Friday, August 8th of Mr A.
Scott Dawson, Chief Engineer of the
Dept. of Natural Reources, and a pio-
neer in the Strathmore District

Mr Dawson came to Strathmore in
1905, when there was very little more
than the townsite here, and his name
is largely synonymous with the build-
of Strathmore.

The irrigation ditches were laid out
and constructed under his supervision,
and many community interests were
established.

Mrs Dawson aided her husband in
all helpful activities, it being largely
due to her efforts that St. Michael &
Ail Angels Church was erected.

Mr Dawson retained the position of
Chief Engineer until Mr Griffin’s ap-
pointment in 1935.

Mrs Dawson predeceased her
band some years ago.

TODAY’S REFLECTION @@@

It is a fine thing to have the respect
of people but it should never be .at
the expense of curtailing your free-
dom in order to have it. If you are
constantly worrying about what oth-
er people will think, if you do thus
or so, you are paying too de@rly in
your attempt to stand in with them,
because you most certainly are not
standing in with yourself. Firet, cast
doubts and suspicions out of your own
mind and take people at ther ons
value. Pay no heed to what:6
tell you about them but r 4
judge the actions and spegeh of ‘peo-
ple for yourself. There are too many
busy-bodies who delight in casting
dooubts and shadows. Be big enough
in yourself not to pay any attention
to them because they are pot worth
your consideration. Kee a.

evidence points unerringly to the fact,
that the well-advertised product is al-
most invariably not alone the best,
but also the cheapest, The consumer
does not pay for advertising. It pays
for itself in abundant measure, and in
addition to that it yields a substantial
dividend to the purchaser in terms of
progressively lower prices and higher
quality.
President Roosevelt also regards
advertising as an outstanding national
necessity, He said—
“Advertising has been
for many of the good things

responsible
which

| citizens of the United States enjoy. It

has been a potent force in making av-
ailable to our citizens the products of
American skill and ingenuity. Without
it, many present-day necessities would
still be luxuries. That force needs
now to be applied toward mainten-
ance of our accustomed standards of

| living and further progress. This may

require adjustment, but it should
mean increased effort. As an educa-
tional force alone, advertising ought
to play a leading part in the prepared.
ness program. It can assist in creat-
ing and maintaining public morale.
Those who are experts in it can be of
great aid to the government.”

chant, P. T. Barnum, of blessed mem-
ory, once observed— “Advertise, or

Renewed Challenge—

And now the Roosevelt-Churchill de
claration, embodying the right of the
peoples to determine the manner of
their governments, opens the opport-
unity and the challenge to make good
the failure of 1919-1920, For in the tur-
bulent interval between two wars,
important things have been learned.
They are things which may make the
vital difference between failure and
success in international order.

And internationalism itself as
Many proponents of the League of Na-
tions now recognize—was defeated be-
cause allegiances to nationalistic en-
tity were intensified.

Thus the background against which
the Roosevelt-Churchill declaration of-
fers its third proposal is one requiring
a larger vision than was available at
Versailles. The problem divides itself
into three main segments—

1—Determination of the form
government for the conquered nations.

2—Determination of the form of
government which will emerge among
the free peoples who have not yet de-
veloped the political maturity of the

3—Assessment of the contribution
which the major democracies are pre

IN| MEMORIAM

of Henricus Van
August 31,

In loving memory
Wezel, who passed away
1938,

Oftime when alone at night

When sleep forsakes our eyes,

Our memory wanders to a _ lonely

grave

Where our dear daddy lies,

At a thousand turns we have

sed you,

Along life’s weary way.

For life to us is not the same
Since God called you away.
Sadly missed and lovingly remember-

ed by wife and children.

THE LAST STRAW

A Scot was engaged in an argument
wth a conductor as to whether the
fare was 25 or 30 cents. Finally the
disgusted conductor picked up the
Scot’s suitcase and tossed it off the
train just as they passed over a
bridge. “Mon!” screamed the Scot,
“it isn’t enough to try to overcharge
me, but now you try to drown my
little boy-”

CUT COARSE FOR THE PIPE

CUT FINE FOR CIGARETTES

Maintenance of production level,
and consequently of employment, con-
stitutes a big problem for an industry
whose normal source of supply is re-
stricted. An example is seen in the
Canadian fullfashioned hosiery indus-

WAR CHANGES STOCKINGS

try. Silk, for years the mainstay
fine hosiery, is being admitted to
Canada in only limited amounts in

order to conserve the U.
with which payment for this product
is made, Canadian mills are at pres-
ent operating with only half as much
silk as they formerly used and later
this year they will go on a two-fifths
basis.

Reducing production corresponding
to the amount of silk available would
have disastrous results. Employment
involving thousands of workers in 28
mills would drop. sharply; govern-
ment revenue from taxes, which runs
into millions annually, would be sliced

in half; investments of thousands of
Canadians in these mills would be
threatened and a sudden scarcity of

hose, damaging to feminine morale,
would result.

But these dangers are being avert-
ed, thanks to speedy and_ efficient
work on the part of the industry, wor-
king closely with the government,
The problem was to produce as much
hosiery with less silk and the answer
was to use the available silk together
with suitable substitute materials. As
a result Canadian fullfashioned hos-
iery now in production has fine Eng-
lish lisle and rayons mixed with silk
in their construction, From what the
ladies tell us these “mixtures” are

;smart and serviceable, barely distin-

guishable from their allsilk predeces-
sors,

The point for commendation in this
story, is that a change-over in produc-
tion methods as radical as this would
not have been undertaken by any
manufacturer in normal times with-
out years of study and experimenta- |
tion, War and national economy, how-
ever, called for speedy action, and
this comparatively young Canadian
industry answered the call by sub-
stituting skill and ingenuity for study |
and experimentation,
